SAM THE BEAR - Down Under Adventure
Sam
Where am I – Why has it been so dark for so long! !
What’s this ? A Knife ? - No this is a Knife !
Perhaps I can cut my way out of this box!
Where am I ? - I might go exploring!
Hey these seats are pretty nice!
Oh they have bear beds as well
Hey I like these Business Class seats – Where is my beer!
Finally out of that plane !

Re: SAM THE BEAR - Down Under Adventure
Man those are great pictures. I guess you may be in aviation and not a plumber? Sam seems to be having an amazing time as always. Funny how he gets to do the things most people can't even dream of. By the time he is done traveling he will be able to host his own talk/variety show on the travel channel. What would he call it? Would Denise sponge off of his star status income? I trust you have warned him about the Koala Bears right?

Re: SAM THE BEAR - Down Under Adventure
Good thing Sam found that knife. I was beginning to wonder if he'd ever resurface! First class seats??? How in the world am I going to keep him in line? Is he safe sitting by that big fan? can he get sucked up and shredded into little furballs? You'd never believe by his actions that he came from a humble background.
Sam, if you're a good boy, Mommy may take you back to Australia next year.

Re: SAM THE BEAR - Down Under Adventure
I like that car too, Craig. It just dawned on me that Sam hasn't been home since I bought my two new X19's! Would you fellas let him know what he's missing out at home?
